Twitter just made a change to the way it displays images that has visual artists on the social network celebrating.

In March, Twitter rolled out a limited test of uncropped, larger images in users’ feeds. Now, it’s declared those tests a success and improved the image sharing experience for everybody.

On Twitter for Android or iOS, standard aspect ratio images (16:9 and 4:3) will now display in full without any cropping. Instead of gambling on how an image will show up in the timeline — and potentially ruining an otherwise great joke — images will look just like they did when you shot them.

Twitter’s new system will show anyone sharing an image a preview of what it will look like before it goes live in the timeline, resolving past concerns that Twitter’s algorithmic cropping was biased toward highlighting white faces.

“Today’s launch is a direct result of the feedback people shared with us last year that the way our algorithm cropped images wasn’t equitable,” Twitter spokesperson Lauren Alexander said. The new way of presenting images decreases the platform’s reliance on automatic, machine learning-based image cropping.

Super tall or wide images will still get a centered crop, but Twitter says it’s working to make that better too, along with other aspects of how visual media gets displayed in the timeline.

For visual artists like photographers and cartoonists who promote their work on Twitter, this is actually a pretty big deal. Not only will photos and other kinds of art score more real estate on the timeline, but artists can be sure that they’re putting their best tweet forward without awkward crops messing stuff up.

Twitter’s Chief Design Officer Dantley Davis celebrated by tweeting a requisite dramatic image of the Utah desert (Dead Horse Point — great spot!)

The days of “open for a surprise” tweets might be numbered, but the long duck can finally have his day.

I think they are working on this already.

That is good then

MartinsD12:
The phone is OK but one big problem is after one year even tecno will abandon ordinary monthly updates, I wish it's Nokia with this specs at 68k

I think this is one thing they need to improve on. Occasional updates are essential

TheDejiEmpire:
How much is Tecno Camon CM screen??

Niswayne19:
Get the tecno pouvior 4 pro, the specs are great

better than the Pova?

OP how did xiaomi shine? You can give kudos to the leading brands and I'm sure no one will beat you

rhektor:
For real it's still with me

that is impressive

Fanuchi007:
ur just pained to accept u bought a scrap fo a phone. I no need any long talk. if u sit wit people who understand the tech behind phones, people will simply laugh at u for calling xiaomi a bloody phone. ur comparing a phone that is sold in US markets with a phone that is sold in African markets!! if I start to break down d specs of that phone in comparison to tecno; I'll just be wasting my time cos anybody who understands d technology behind phone hardware and software will never compare xiaomi to tecno. Go and upgrade ur knowledge and stop arguing what u don know

why are you rambling? If you are not smart enough to know that none of us here are your kids and you cannot be telling us what to do some of us will tell you. If I decide to use Tecno or any brand that's not xiaomi it means I'm not smart? You people live in a bubble

Fanuchi007:

Fanuchi007:

Mixed feelings about this one. What's the screen resolution?

selfdefence:

Instead of giving licenses, why not revamp the current ones?

It is safe but you will wait for a long time before you get it o. Covid has affected delivery speed

Not bad at all.
